July 19, 200619 yr Link A Hyundai spokesperson states the company will take "comprehensive countermeasures" after performing its own research on the impact of a GM/Renault/Nissan alliance. Mitsubishi Motors is considered by analysts the most likely partner for Hyundai.
July 19, 200619 yr Canada's banks went through this panicked reactionary merging in the '90s. We now have only 5 major national players in banking. I don't really think it harmed anything though.
July 20, 200619 yr What a stylish, reliable, desirable car this pair would end up making! 168855[/snapback] Lets do some chops!
July 20, 200619 yr This is getting ridiculous, and it is thanks only to the requisite punditry that followed the initial proposal. I have a feeling GM wants no part of any of this.
July 21, 200619 yr So, now is it that everyone wants to merge with GM??? And what the heck are "Comprehensive Countermeasures?" I am military so it sounds kind of explosive to me.
July 21, 200619 yr Hyundai is crazy if they are thinging of joint qith a lame duck like that. I do think however that Hyundai is who GM should be trying to join with. The Azera is such a nice looking car and they have such good qaulity now that Toyota is scared of them.
August 11, 200619 yr I would like to see Hyundai obtain the assets to Jaguar, and take it off Fords hands. From this, Hyundai would have access to Jaguar's nationwide dealer network, and when the time comes for Hyundai's luxury brand to debut, they can be sold through the Jaguar dealerships. This would save Hyundai alot of money from not having to establish an entirely new dealer network, and can help create the luxury brand even faster. I'm also sure that Hyundai can help Jaguar build better cars as well.

They'd have to just to move the number of Sonatas and Accents they do. No. Hyundai doesn't have the technology <yet> to take over Jag. The reason their cars get the crash ratings they do is because they simply throw iron at them. No advanced technology going on there. Witness the Kia Amanti that outweighs a DTS!
August 12, 200619 yr All it needs is a "leaper". 179108[/snapback] You mean this...? Oh. leaper, not leper.
